Democracy Under Threat: The Soft Hum of Corruption
Despite what cable news may have you believe, Donald Trump is not the sole threat to our democracy. This week, we’re peeling back the rhetoric and taking a look at where the vulnerabilities in our institutions lie. In conversation with Jane Mayer, Chief Washington Correspondent for The New Yorker magazine and Noah Bookbinder, President of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Jon explores the roots of our democratic dysfunction. From ever-multiplying dark money to shark tanking ideas for tax transparency, this episode has it all. Plus, hear from producers of the pod and get a taste for what you can expect in episodes to come!
Fact Check: Jane Mayer mentions that Jon said the FEC is about as useless as male nipples. It was, in fact, Jordan Klepper who said this.

Customer Reviews
Good start! Looking forward to watch Stewart catch his rhythm.
Every communication vehicle is different and requires a different approach. That approach takes time to develop and it needs to (generally) develop organically as you review the show and determine what works and what doesn’t. For myself, Stewart is incredibly insightful and I am gracious he is doing what he is doing: dragging light onto the shadows of politics and culture in our country with a wry smile.
Brilliant
Other pods try. This one delivers. John Stewart and invited experts take on the nature of the beast. They dig deep, name the problems and culprits, and reflect on possibilities.
Jane’s idea - tax transparency
I love Jane’s idea of typing in your address and finding out exactly where your taxes are going.
